Is this you?
You’re sitting in front of a mountain of raw feedback—interview transcripts, survey results, and customer messages from multiple sources.

Your brain is fried from collecting it all, but the real challenge hasn’t even started yet: turning that pile into clear, actionable insights.

Stakeholders are emailing:

👋 “Where’s the analysis?”

👋 “When can we share this with the team?”

👋 "We need to decide about [product change] NOW."

-

You've been trying to use AI to speed things up, but it gave you results that didn’t feel reliable.

- Vague themes, out-of-context quotes, or flat-out fake "user insights."

- You have a constant fear that it missed something critical that *you* would have found.

- And after all the time spent, you decide to re-do the analysis manually anyway.

-

I’ve been there, too. 🙋‍♀️

If you’ve felt stuck in endless ChatGPT loops, redoing AI’s work, or wondering if there’s a better waythis is for you.

With the right knowledge and systems, AI stops being such a gamble and becomes an ally you can trust for faster - and more complete analysis.
